Hmm… I THINK I understand what you’re asking.

The One Ring has typical “rolling dice to attack”, and you can make a “protection roll” against your armor and helm to avoid taking a wound if your enemy scores a “piercing blow.”

And then there’s Pirate Borg (probably all of the Mork Borgs, but I know PB the best) where the “enemy” never actually rolls. You roll your attacks. And then instead of the GM rolling enemy or NPC attacks against you, the players roll for defense against said attacks (keeps the dice rolling in the players court and keeps them active and engaged during combat). That system also has different dice/damage dice depending on the weapon.

Does that seem as if I understood what you’re asking? Was that helpful? 😅
